College Night 2024

College Night is a college fair held in conjunction with the FMEA Professional Learning Conference, open to all students regardless of whether they are participating in an all-state ensemble or registered for the conference.

Please note the changes for this year: we will be on Thursday instead of Friday and in the Exhibit Hall instead of a separate room.
